Meet Acriphagea, the demon of torment and comprehension. This demon was drawn out of debilitating stomach/back pain, which I think I've finally conquered. Just like digestion, it consumes aspects of the world and dissolves them, breaking down every component and either using them or disposing of them.

Contrary to how gruesome it looks, Acriphagea is a necessity - being able to analyze and fully understand what you're consuming can help clarify what you're encountering in this wild world. Blocking this demon is both literal and metaphorical: gastric obstruction can wreak havoc on your entire body, just as obstructing curiosity, compassion, and consideration can ruin your perception of the universe.

Acriphagea fought me the entire way. Below is one of the iterations. There were two other designs which simply couldn't make the cut, but I'm happy with having it finally drawn out.

The next annual demon, I feel, will be a more pleasant one. We'll see. :) But right now I'm hungry! Have a great Monday, chillens.
